Character you pitied most
JT:
Damn! Everyone has a good point of view here. Good imputs. I'll try to reflect on each character and why I pitied them.
Alma. Her loss is obvious here. She's this plain, not so rich girl who has to work hard just to get by. Then to have her husband cheated on her...Yes, eventually she'll move on to a better life with Monroe.
Alma Jr./Jenny. Children of a fractured marriage. Still love their father greatly.
Laureen. Similar to Alma except she's rich and she has her parents. So she's very well off and I felt less pity for her. Still at the end, we finally see her loss also.
Cassie. She has a slight hint of Jack in her in the she put effort in loving Ennis. I think her love for Ennis is genuine but ends up tasting the bitter rejection from Ennis. She's the only one that does not understand at the end.
Jack's Mom. I definately feel pity for her. Loosing her only son and living with the old fart. Perhaps the most tragic of the choices above. But I also see a lot strength in her.
John Twist. At first, due to his attitude, I don't pitied him at all, but now I do a little. Like his wife, he also looses his only son. I think the reason he kept Jack's ashes has to do more with him still clinging on to his son and less about the Brokeback incident.
Jack and Ennis. The only characters that made my cry. The reason I didn't include our boys is because I think they will unanimously over take the poll. I pitied both of them equally. Jack, I pitied him through out the movie. The poor pup has been kicked from everyone and eventually he died with nothing he wanted. Ennis, I pitied him mostly near the end when his grief overpowered everything else, except maybe for love. He's the one that will have to carry on with this pain.

Losing his Daddy like that and you know if Jack was murdered as Ennis believes then there will be gossip about his Daddy being gay that Bobby will not understand and I don't think Lureen showed enough character to help him with. Sad

Yes. Bobby definately deserve our pity as well. With a loving but dead father and a mother who puts business above everything else, yeah that's sad.

No, I dont pity Jack and Ennis.....not when I think of the fantastic times they had together....although tinged with paranoi, and not sure what to do about it all.....those moments were so precious......and they were lucky to be a part of them....how many people get to hold and kiss someone like they do in that reunion scene?.....how can we pity them, when they did have so much together.....
Sad?....yes.....because it was over before it should have been, but having 20yrs of a friendship and love like these two had, I would say, they were very lucky.
Ellemeno:
I certainly agree with most of what I read her, but I'm going to pick Lureen. At least today...
